The Warrior Messiah Goalie Stick 2011 offers all the great features of the previous model. The Messiah uses a full composite construction making this stick extremely light. The FNA impact absorption used in this stick provides great vibration dampening and shock absorption. The Pro-balance design used in this stick gives the stick great feel while not being overly bottom heavy. The only difference with the 2011 model of this stick is the incredible new paint. While still using the matte finish, Warrior has also used the Good vs. Evil graphics on the Messiah goalie stick provide an awesome contrasting look.
